Jan Weiler - ließt aus seinem neuen Roman "Monk"

In the organizer's words:

Witty, profound, humorous - bestselling author Jan Weiler writes about love

Successful and alone - this is how architect Peter Munk finds himself at the age of 51. Or rather, lying there with a heart attack on the escalator on the third floor of a department store. He survives, but there is no one he wants to contact from the hospital. In the rehabilitation clinic, his therapist tells him to start his self-exploration with the people who made him the man he is. And so, for the first time, Peter Munk looks at the thirteen women in his life and the lessons he has learned from each of them. With a surprising outcome.

Jan Weiler was born in Düsseldorf in 1967. He initially worked as a copywriter in advertising before attending the German School of Journalism in Munich. He then worked as an editor, author and finally editor-in-chief at Süddeutsche Zeitung Magazin from 1994 to 2005.
In 2003, his first novel "Maria, ihm schmeckt's nicht." (Maria, He Doesn't Like It) emerged from a short story in SZ-Magazin. The book is considered the most successful German novel debut of the last twenty years, and the film adaptation was successfully shown in cinemas in 2009. 2005 saw the sequel "Antonio im Wunderland."
Funnily enough, his books are not available in Italian, but in Korean.
